After releasing their debut single ‘Zaza’, “a hooky, upbeat and original tune, which doesn't rely on trying try to be, or sound like anyone else“ Musicreview.ie in early 2008 they were signed to Dublin label 1969 records.

Their second single ‘Don't you want to be loved by me’ was described by Hot Press as "a bittersweet, perfectly formed morsel of endearing power pop that's instantly appealing" and received airplay on Today fm, 2fm, and Phantom fm.

This summer, they released their third single ‘Guy Like Me’ to a packed Whelans main venue and followed it up with an appearance on RTE's "Saturday Night With Miriam" show.
